*station wagon

I would do anything to be able to buy a brand new stick shift station wagon. That said, probably only four other people want that.

The station was mocked as an uncool suburban vehicle until the minivan took that mantle. <NB: I like station wagons and I miss them!>

I know these evil doofuses don’t want a history lesson, but for anyone who does want one, Google “George Washington smallpox Valley Forge.”

it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease

Mention SportsWorld to any local, and they’ll inevitably bring up Michael Jackson’s visit — a story usually relayed to them by someone who wasn’t there.

The King of Pop found SportsWorld early on, months after releasing his No. 1 album “Dangerous” at the end of 1991.

Putter, one of the co-owners at the time, was in a Broadway theater when he received a call that Jackson was on his way to the fledgling business. They closed SportsWorld to the public so the megastar and his guest, a child, could have their run of the place.

After racing back to Paramus, Putter shook hands with Jackson, then 33, who signed records and gave gifts to the small amount of people allowed inside.

“He was delightful, and he was grateful,” Putter says.

Few employees were there for the actual event, adding to the mystery. However, there was photographic proof.

“Renting out” the business for free to Jackson for the better part of a day turned out to be a great investment. The story raised the amusement park’s profile and generated significant traffic.

And no, it was not for a party for the kid, like the place was designed for. It was shut down just for him and his bodyguards and the kid. Even when I was ten I was like, "That's weird."

When I was a kid in New Jersey in the early 90s, I remember hearing that Michael Jackson had shut down this the local indoor amusement park SportsWorld for a day. More recently I found out it was to impress one of the kids around him. How did the adults at the time not call foul on that?

Alright, vine maple in the 16” pot. I fixed it since this photo so it’s more in the middle now. I will have it closer to the railing so it will get some partial shade through the day from the bamboo plants.

Every so often there is an article or thread going around about Irish people giving hilarious insults to strangers in public places, school, work, etc.

My mom’s family is Irish. Definitely that’s Tall Poppy syndrome, even though they are funny. It was exhausting and sad to be around long term.

It's kind of strange that Trump, on the other hand, doesn't drink at all.

Yeah, I'm trying to lose about 15 pounds in a sustainable way by refining how I eat and cook at home and cutting out/back on unhealthy things a little. I sub nutritional yeast for parmesan a lot. It's good on roasted potatoes, beans, and carrots. Really like the combination with lemons!

Heck yes, nutritional yeast! I make a sauce with it - squeeze some lemon juice and mix it in. I put in my nettle soup or on my arugula.

The show was popular with Millennials during the pandemic. All of our plans were canceled and we were stuck at home. Might as well finally get to sorting the closets, etc. We didn't have any excuses of being "busy" anymore during that time.

I liked her method of putting out all your clothes at once. Or all your electronics at once. It helped you see what you had duplicates of, helped reorganized things. I did a bit of that after I moved last year. I mean, I still have crap and doom pile I need to sort, but that advised helped me!

I think a lot about that guy who had the sneaker collection. He went through them on the show and saw a bunch of shoes he paid a lot of money for fell apart before he had a chance to wear them.
This changed my clothes/shoe shopping habits. I only buy things I will wear now/soon, not "for later."

I remember this. Pretty much everyone I knew who watched her Netflix show like it. She was helping people and didn't make fun of them, unlike that show Hoarders that was very popular back in the day. There was backlash to Kondo because then she came out with a line of proves like tuning forks.
